Alison and Mike, a cash-strapped young couple struggling to buy their first home, think their prayers are answered when a distant relative bequeaths them a sprawling estate. However, the old house is haunted by the ghosts of its former inhabitants.

Still recovering from her near-fatal accident, Alison finds herself hounded by the ghostly gaggle, who now realise that she can both see and hear them. Meanwhile, Mike's attempts to turn the old house into a home leads to a DIY disaster.

On Pat's Death Day, he prepares for his family's annual pilgrimage to the site of his demise. Realising that Alison's gift makes her a conduit between the dead and the living, he begs her to pass on a message from the other side.

Fortune smiles on a cash-strapped Mike and Alison when a TV company comes calling looking for an old house in which to film their period drama. To get the money in the bank, Alison must ensure the shoot proceeds without a hitch.

Learning that their posh neighbours have an ancient claim over their land, Mike and Alison throw a swanky dinner party to help resolve the issue. With the ghosts their only guide to high-class decorum, the evening starts badly and only gets worse.

Now juggling day jobs with their endless renovations, Mike and Alison are both penniless and exhausted when a luxury hotel chain makes them an offer they can't refuse. The ghosts vow to help the cash-strapped couple with get-rich-quick schemes.
